With Thanks
Neither the men nor the women Ever said a “Thank you” To some important things in life. They run helter-skelter to meet their targets But forget to thank their shoes Weary; bearing their feet smelly. Neither men nor women pause To smile, once they finish their lunch At the water jug that had quenched their…

WAIT AND WATCH
Poem by Sherin Mary Zacharia on the picture prompt given by poet Dr.Santosh Bakaya madam . Waiting is a game endless Watching never boils the pot Will it? or will it not? Result still unknown.

Wall
Behind every wall you will find a scene Of hardwork,sweat and blemished fingers Trying to keep some dreams alive, ablaze Snapshots of happiness, anger, excitement and pain Hang themselves onto the wall In vivid coloured frames, mirroring Those days when everyone had lived like everyone else. Walls had heard numerous stories Of success, deceit, worries…
